Jason Seetin

(KAIR)--18 months probation.

That's the sentence given to the Atchison man who stole personal images from two female victims while repairing their devices at an Atchison business.

42-year-old Jason Seetin was sentenced Thursday in Atchison County District Court to 8 months in prison with the Kansas Department of Corrections for one count of computer crime. However, that sentence was suspended to 18 months probation.

Additionally, in accordance with Kansas state statute, Seetin now being a convicted felon, can no longer possesses a bail bondsman license. His felony could also affect his business operation of All American Pawn as he can no longer posses firearms.

Charges for Seetin stem from a January incident when Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson said a 21-year-old victim reported images from her phone were unlawfully obtained while the phone was in Seetin's possession at All American Pawn for repair.

After that initial report, another victim came forward who also had personal photos taken from her laptop that was taken to the pawn shop weeks prior.
